Not a church goer... but i believe with everything i have in my heart that God loves us, sent his ONLY son to be sacrificed for us, then raised his son 3 days later! God is OUTSTANDING!
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(A) 25 not giving up meeting together,(B) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(C)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(D)
This doesn't have to happen at church. This can happen in a home or coffee shop. The early church of the NT didn't go to 'church' Jesus also frequently went into the Jewish temples and caused a disturbance.
It can happen outside of the church, but it is directed to occur inside the church, per the NT.
The early church did meet as churches (Corinth, Rome, Jerusalem, etc.)
Paul's missionary journey(s) throughout the book 9f Acts was all about establishment of churches.
Jesus went in to the temple and caused a disturbance by speaking the Truth, but that was earlier than the establishment of NT churches and didn't have anything to do with churches.
Not giving up meeting together...
[The context is church]
